5 17 June /14 Ground resistivity imaging

6 Ground resistivity imaging Rules of thumb for resistivity imaging: DC resistivity and Induced Polarization (IP) are complementary 1-D, 2-D, 3-D, time-lapse imaging possible (2-D shown) Useful sensing depth ~ 20% of array length (dipole-dipole) Useful resolution ~ 50% of electrode spacing (dipole-dipole) Trade-offs: object size, resistivity difference, depth 17 June /14

7 Marine resistivity imaging 2-D vertical resistivity profile shows competent rock, underwater spring, lake bottom Modified SuperSting R8 with extra software for continuous resistivity profiling Graphite electrodes are towed behind a boat (typically 8x dipole-dipole array) 17 June /14

8 Capacitively-coupled resistivity Replace fixed electrodes (stakes) with mobile electrodes (plates) AC operation required (capacitive coupling) Signal ~ plate area, 1/distance, voltage, operating frequency Noise ~ 1/speed, changes in capacitance (e.g., vibration) Geometrics Ohm-mapper system: Fixed dipole-dipole array is drug over ground Operation at 16.5 khz Multi-receiver variants Plastic-pipe culvert detected at 2 m: 17 June /14

9 Impedivity Spectroscopy Impedivity = complex resistivity Real part: conduction currents (dominate at low frequency) Imaginary part: displacement currents (dielectric effects) Spectroscopy: ~1 khz to ~1 MHz Impedivity DC resistivity for f < 1 khz Impedivity often dominated by dielectric properties for f > 1 MHz Magnitude (Ohm-m) Phase (degrees) 17 June /14

10 Static 0-50 khz Wenner array (COTS source and sensor) uses four equally-spaced stakes COTS source (current) electrodes with stand-off sensor (voltage) electrodes Stand-off source (current) electrodes with COTS sensor (voltage) electrodes Stand-off source (current) electrodes with stand-off sensor (voltage) electrodes 17 June /14

11 Electromagnetic Induction Active EM induction: Transmitter coil generates pulsed magnetic fields Receiver coil measures induced magnetic fields (ringdown) between pulses Detects metals via secondary field caused by eddy currents (from Towed EM-61 Geonics EM-61, etc.: Time-domain operation Widely used commercially Arrays in development (from 17 June /14
